Conte isnt alone in his thoughts on mls

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

one bad hammie away from a possible Ciman inclusion

/though he did score on the weekend v Norway .. which made Taylor Twat-man rev up his MLS propaganda machine

Just wait until Robbie Keane runs the table.

I've never seen it either. No way I see how they could technically be considered the top team in Europe right now (just to prove me wrong, they'll probably steamroll the entire tournament).

They're still a bit of an enigma to me. Sometimes they look like they really are a top 3 team in the World and other times they look like they barely belong on the field.

Personally, I see Germany as the standalone favorites, with France and Spain being closer to the others (Belgium included) than they are to Germany.

/Can't wait to watch the games to see just how wrong I end up being!

One reason I feel less risk in picking favourites this go-around is because of how diluted the field is with 8 more teams. All these 3rd place teams going into the second round means some of the bigger squads will probably have comfy halftime leads and start moving key guys out to rest them for the next rounds. They ruined the best int'l tournament still out there.

Not yet they haven't - At least there is no Team Middle East.

Wait for 2020 when team 40+ is entered.

Methinks a certain Los Angeles baseball team of Anaheim might be asking some questions about that...

/but I like as well

Won't that just be the Spanish team?

With Beckham.

Some of these posters are pretty nice...

Euro 2016 team posters

By the way, Spain losing to Georgia 1-nil at home isn't exactly inspiring a lot of confidence heading into Euro 2016.

Only an inveterate would have bet on that outcome.

Pretty cool, except like a third of them are basically "More than [insert star player here]".

Also, minus points for featuring Giroux on the French one lol

Friendly, but a lot of worries there. Fabregas looks done and I'm guessing Del Bosque only started him because he wanted to ease the Real/Atleti players into the squad but that backfired. The entire midfield looked confused, to be honest. Other than Busquets there wasn't much happening there to feed Aduriz or Nolito until Silva and Iniesta came on.

Most worrying thing for them was Alba. If I'm VDB i'm seriously considering using Azpilicueta instead at LB.

Either this shirt is a bad fake or Drake removed the Adidas logo due to Nike/Air Jordan.

Photoshopped out. You can just see the black of the Adidas logo in this one:
